What is the PricewaterhouseCoopers Walk for Life Corporate Challenge ?

The event involves your organisation's participation in the PricewaterhouseCoopers Walk for LifeCorporate Challenge. The event is a fun or walk.

The key objective of the event is to raise funds to support the efforts and endeavours of the Sir Buri Kidu Heart Institute, a largely privately funded, non-profit organisation.

All funds raised in this event will go towards a Sir Buri Kidu Heart Institute initiative.

How can you participate ?

You will need to complete the registration form attached, and remit it together with your team's registration fee of K500 for each team. There should be a maximum of 5 participants per team. Organisations can enter as many teams as they choose to.

Each organisation should identify one contact person (regardless of the number of teams within the organisation). It is through this contact person that we will ensure your team receives your registration package. This package will be sent to your contact person and will contain an InfoKit covering the details of the event, course details, participant race numbers etc.

Many of you will know someone who has suffered a heart-related disease or disorder sometime in your life. This might include a stroke, a heart-attach or some other coronary illness. In PNG, reported cases have been growing considerably.

At the present time there are at least one to two reported cases a week.

One wonders about cases which are not reported. In all cases the disease is preventative or curable...if only we were able to fund more health awareness programs, or if hospitals had access to proper facilities. Your participation can help us in this regard !

Each organisa;tion should encourage their staff to participate. They may wish to wear official corporate colours or uniforms to show case their own organisations, or come in fancy dress.

Prizes for creativity and innovation will be awarded:
The event will involve a 5km walk or run (whatever you chose to do) over the same course as set last year. Each participant will receive a course map in their InfoKit following registration.

The run or walk is designed to cater for the more serious competitors as well as those wishing to participate purely for the fun. We would imagine that for most people, it will be an opportunity to participate together with their fellow employees, their employers and their families in a fun-filled, yet important community event.

The event involves your organisationís participation in the PricewaterhouseCoopers Walk for Life Corporate Challenge. The event is a fun run or walk to be held in Port Moresby on Sunday, 27th October 2002.

All you need to do is register your team/teams by completing
